Being honest I really dislike flags up. I know I am prejudging people but as soon as I see the St. George cross on cars, houses etc I immediately think negatively towards those people.
IMO it displays all that can be wrong in this country. Thr flag is often used by the far right, little englanders. I see it as borderline offensive To me it's is flown by those too often who are racist . The connotations of the st George's cross divide more than they unite |

Not the flag that is offensive per say, it is often the people associated with it or who like to wrap themselves in it

A few Chavs around me have flags on their houses and cars even. Such prols - yuk.
And we lost last night, apparently. Can't even win a football match. It's pathetic. |

A flag ! Anyone putting up a flag around here would be ridiculed. Christmas lights can sometimes be amusingly ironic..but not a flag, just too chavish.

Nothing wrong with putting a flag up for the World Cup but houses covered in them look horrible.

Could someone please explain to me what is meant by the word "chav"? Obviously, it's a disparaging term, but why?
Is it that the working class, or dare I say, poor people, are seen as cretins and if so, precisely why? Do explain. Another thing: if these "chavs" are the ones primarily flying the flag, why? Why do you suspect they do this, and why don't you? Why is it seen as embarrassing to do so? I suspect you are making the very generalizations here that would appall you were they said about people from a distinct nation. See any similarities between classism and racism here? |

Bit late but no, it looks very tacky having your flag out just for the football.
